Wolf Parkinson White Syndrome Diagnosis

Hi all, following a recent onset of palpitations I was referred from my G.P to undergo an ECG which came back with a diagnosis of WPW Syndrome which is by my understanding congenital. Is this condition defined as a form of heart disease? I also have marfan syndrome, will lack of treatment for WPW Syndrome affect my complications from marfan syndrome? Thanks.

Hi Craig,

My daughter was diagnosed with wpw a couple of years ago. She is only on a beta blocker. You are born with it. each name is a different part of this. It is a notifiable illness on the government website. My daughter has a free other things wrong with her heart as well. She did not want to have an ablation done. Had to have the beta blocker changed, that is working. She had extra to her heart, I have bits missing? Yet my mother had atrial fribulation. If you look on bus site I'm sure there is wow listed.

Regards Dee.
